From the 1960’s Until Today, The Cowsills Have Defined Melodic Pop Harmonies

The real-life inspiration behind the hit television series The Partridge Family, the Cowsills — teen siblings Bill, Bob, Barry, John, Susan, and Paul in tandem with mom Barbara — were one of the biggest pop acts of the late ’60s, scoring a series of hits including “The Rain, the Park and Other Things”, “Indian Lake, and “Hair,” distinguished by their angelic harmonies and sun-kissed melodies. The group’s origins lie with Bill and Bob, who as children began their singing careers covering Everly Brothers hits. Given guitars by their father, Navy man William “Bud” Cowsill, the siblings soon recruited younger brothers Barry and John to play bass and drums, respectively, and as Beatlemania dawned, the teen foursome began performing live at school dances and church socials throughout their native Newport, RI. Soon the Cowsills landed a regular weekend gig at the local club Dorian’s on Bannisters Wharf, and in 1965 recorded the single “All I Really Wanta Be Is Me” for the Joda label; the record generated little response, however, but after an appearance on NBC’s The Today Show the group signed with Mercury Records, issuing three more singles.
